Culture Republic is bringing you a box office data management workshop aimed at arts and cultural organisations. This hands-on session will be led by Charlotte Wilson, Associate Director at Culture Republic.
What’s it all about?
Your Box Office data is precious: so, what can you do to manage it and keep it safe? This practical workshop tells you all you need to know about collecting, using, cleansing, protecting, sharing and extracting data to make sure you are making the most of your Box Office.
The workshop will take you through key areas of data management. Where does your data come from? How should your database be structured? You’ll learn how to clean your data, how to optimise it for analysis, how best to extract and share data and what you need to know about Data Protection. You will learn about performance and discount coding, booker segmentation and get top tips for data migration. You’ll discover just how much of your venue’s success depends on having a great database, and how the quality of your database depends on the quality of your coding. An unmissable workshop for anyone working in a Box Office today.
